> OOC MINGLE AND WELCOME

Hello everyone! Welcome to Meadowlark. We're very excited to get things rolling, and we wanted to have an organized place for everyone to introduce themselves. As a reminder, this is more of a mingle so we start chatting! Our first CR meme will go up on August 11th after everyone has a better idea of how things are going to go in game. The game opens this Saturday, August 4th with a log that will include the arrival process for everyone. So, have at it! We're very excited to meet everyone.

Hi, everyone! My name's Megan and I've been RPing first on LJ and then on DW since I think 2008? So I've been in a looooot of games in that time period with a ton of different characters. I played from book series, tv, and movies, but over the last couple years I've shifted to mainly playing video game characters or OCs.

I've brought Mei-Ling Zhou from the Blizzard first person shooter game, Overwatch here. She's a bright, bubbly scientist who has experienced tragedy in her life, but perseveres. If you're unfamiliar with the canon and have ten minutes to burn, I recommend checking out her animated short: Rise and Shine. Just remember to bring tissues because the heartbreak is real.

I can be found on plurk at megoom or Discord at megoom#2520. I welcome new friends for plotting and chitchat!

That's all I got!

[timemachine]

I semi-main Mei in Overwatch so I am thrilled to see such a precious thing here! I'm excited to play off of her!

[sumio]

MEI IS SO CUTE I DONT EVEN OVW BUT I LOVE HER.....

welcome welcome!!! happy to have you also on board this crazy train 8)

[persists]

Hi everyone! I'm Jem! It's been a little bit since I've been in a game proper, but I'm ready to dive back in. I like plurking about design, video games, art and crafts!

I'm bringing Ciri from the Witcher series — more precisely her Witcher 3 counterpart as opposed to books (still... diving through those...). She's a disaster bi who finds herself being pursued for her ~powerful blood~ in her canon. She's pretty smart mouthed, willing to dive into things, and most importantly, awkwardly make friends. :/

I'm over on plurk at cirilla and cirilla#7318 on Disco. See a ...pattern...here... haha.

Super stoked to be in the game!

[possidetur]

i am thrilled to be in a game with you, it has been so long. it's going to be wonderful, jem.

[possidetur]

hello larkers! my name's kerry and i'm bringing in vanessa ives from penny dreadful. she's a victorian witch who is a wonderful friend to have despite all of the danger and tragedy that her life has entailed, specifically the fact that both dracula and lucifer have tormented her in order to bring about the apocalypse. spoilers: fun was had. vanessa is coming in from the season finale 309 the blessed dark so anyone she meets initially might have a rocky introduction, apologies!

in meadowlark vanessa will have the ability of emotional healing, going along with that good friend vibe, and i've slammed up a plotting/permissions style thing for it here!. i'm excited to see how this builds and develops, particularly with the loss of her usual abilities.

i can be found over on skitties or skittys#2174 (disco) for any chatter and plotting. this is gonna be fun!

[frostedplum]

Hi, there! I've seen you in mutuals' plurks before and I thiiiink I played with you in Savrou, but I can't remember if we were ever actually Plurk friends or just two ships passing in the night. Regardless! I'm not familiar with the canon, but Vanessa sounds super interesting, so I'm looking forward to learning about her.

itsa me danni

[sumio]

hiya meadowlark!! I’m Danni and I’ll be bringing you two characters from two very different flavors of cyberpunk:


first is Sumio Kodai from the 1999 visual novel/2016 remake The Silver Case, which is a game about cops who suck at their jobs, dystopian government brainwashing conspiracies, crime as a literal (?) virus, and this one guy named Big Dick. as for Sumio, he is a cool, collected noir-style police detective, except not cause he’s been in jail after doing a bit of a revenge thing... whoops. hobbies include swooning over pretty people, wallowing in The Void, pointing out what perfume you’re wearing, and being petty and/or rude just cause he can. his new power is replication, and he’ll start out making temporary copies of himself. i'm sorry for having to explain the metaplot of a Suda51 game to you all in advance.


next is Maeve Millay, from the show Westworld. she’s a robo-homesteader turned robo-brothel madam gone renegade on a mission to escape sexy cowboy Jurassic Park, cause, you know, HBO. Maeve is a 5’3” hurricane: cunning, occasionally ruthless, worryingly ok with dying once or twice if it’s practical, and NOT afraid to remind everybody who’s boss, tyvm. she cares sometimes but don’t tell anybody. she’s got mechanical intuition which is basically the “in a cave with a box of scraps” power: if you need somebody to take some shit apart or put it together again Maeve is your gal!

as for me im super excited to be here and am happy to plot and chat! you can PM my characters, PP/add/remove my RP plurk smithsyndicate at will, and if you want my discord just lemme know. ❤️ looking forward to playing with you all!

[forcevisions]

this description of maeve/westworld makes me so happy bc it's so ridiculous in summary but then the show is like no we're Edgy and Cool

[forcevisions]

Hello!

My name's Tifa. I'm protects or tifa#8285 on discord if you wanna reach me. Mostly I chat about Star Wars and Marvel and work (noveling or teaching) so brace yourself for that adventure. Most of my fandoms are SFF live action, with a smattering of books.

I've brought Rey here from the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. She's sort of a stubborn but friendly scrapper-turned-Jedi who has a lot of abandonment issues and a big bottomless well of compassion. Her new power is gravity manipulation.



Idk that's it. That's what I've got. Hi!!!

[frostedplum]

Hi, Tifa! I'm Megan and I have an Overwatch character, Mei, here. Sadly I'm a bit behind on my Star Wars as I haven't seen The Last Jedi yet, but I basically know what happens and Rey is amazing and kickass and I love her to bit, just from the first movie alone and what I know of the second. Looking forward to have Mei get to know her in game!

[secondnature]

Hi! I'm Alison, and I'm bringing in two characters from the start.

Clarke Griffin: Clarke is coming from the very beginning of S5, right before she meets the child that becomes her daughter. She's the protagonist of The 100, which ... doesn't mean she's the heroic do-gooder type. Clarke is more hard-edged than your typical protagonist: she's manipulative, cunning, pragmatic, and ruthless. She isn't all hard-edged, though, because she has Her People that she cares about (and she's undoubtedly going to refer to the people caught up in this mess as Her People as a way of trying to pull in numbers to solve problems). She has been isolated up to this point, so being around people will be a sort of relief after the world ended back home.

Keith: Keith is coming from the tail-end of season six of Voltron: Legendary Defender, which means he's grown up into a proper leader and has acquired a mark on his cheek (it's either a scar or a Galran mark). The Galra, for people who aren't familiar with the show, are a purple alien species who decided to subjugate most of the universe. And ... Keith is half-Galran, but his mom was a freedom fighter and awesome. (#catmom!) He's gone through a magical two year age up process, so he's in his early 20s (unlike the rest of the paladins sans Shiro, if you're vaguely aware of them as a whole). He is prickly and bad at people, not great at empathy, but doing His Best. But he is a burgeoning leader and he found his purpose in trying to save the universe.

As for me! I'm a fan of cats, Voltron, The 100, Overwatch (I play a lot and I follow pro-Overwatch—I main Lucio, Zen, and Winston for the most part ... and tanks). I also like baseball, cooking, and medieval history. And cats. I really, really love cats. I have three of them and they are the greatest cats who have ever lived. I'm not biased. I'm currently playing through Breath of the Wild, so that's a thing.

I'm on plurk at medieval and on Discord at alison#8996.

[timemachine]

Cats are the greatest things ever and I'm glad someone else understands. I have two myself and my workplace is just littered with cat-themed trinkets.

[timemachine]

Hello everyone! My name is Zero and I am totally excited to start this party!

I am bringing in Akane Kurashiki from a sci-fi esque series called Zero Escape, about some strange form of time traveling, multiple timelines, robots, all sorts of out there theories, etc, etc. Akane is quite the conspiracy theorist herself and believes in alien existence and would like to tell you all about the Morphogenetic Field Theory. Basically, she’s really out there but she’s also really intelligent when it comes to the maths and sciences. And riddles. She can solve riddles under pressure. I have taken her specifically from the true end of 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.

Also, ultimately, she is the type of person who wants everyone to get along and be friends. She is her own special creature. She’s pretty kind and friendly herself so she’ll try to get along with everyone.

Her power is ‘item mending and restoring’ meaning if items break or are worn, she can restore them back to the original state. For now she can’t do much, just fix those blasted holes in your clothes and items that are small in nature.

My plurk is aidios and my discord is Zero#7703. Feel free to add either! My plurk is mainly my fandom (I'm all over the place fandomwise, but I'm mostly a gamer), rp, and about work, which is teaching. You'll get to hear student stories soon because I have them...

[retravel]

Akane is one of my faves, so I'm thrilled to see her here! and with such a neat power. i look forward to slamming in for that sweet sweet cr!!

[hyperverbose]

Hello friends! I'm Arden and I'm bringing in Tony Stark from mid-Infinity War MCU. You can find me on Plurk at ardendactyl or Discord at arden#1282. Tony's got the power of electricity manipulation and general snark/irritating brilliance. I am an English teacher and do a lot of theater/comedy/directing/tabletop RPing irl so I can get a little busy, but don't hesitate to reach out and contact me as needed! I'm very excited to be in a game again - it's been awhile.

[selfimage]

HI IM SO STOKED TO PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN

[retravel]

hello hello hello! i’m laura, and i’m bringing in leo fitz from agents of shield whiiiiich is mcu-adjacent. he’s coming in from s5e5: rewind bc he was jettisoned into space while in cryofreeze, baby!! what a time to be alive. fitz is an engineer / spy (ish) who had a no good very bad five years. he's still mostly a scruffy nerd and kind of a grandpa. will travel across time and space for homies, so his new power is portal-based teleportation. neat-o, even if he can only make itsy bitsy openings atm.

i’m super excited to be in this game and hang with you all!! i’ve been over in el nysa for the past year, so some of you might know me from there. for chatting and plotting, pp/add/remove me over at locution or hmu at laura#4737 on disco. plurk is basically just for rp. i work weird hours so i’m not always on disco, but i tend to pop on in the evening (on BST/GMT).

[frostedplum]

Oh, no cryofreeze! IDK if he's one to talk about it, but if he ever does, Mei can totally relate!

[dirtdevil]

HELLO, I am also Alison because it is objectively the best name to have. I'm bringing ugh it's this guy again from that show everyone else stopped caring about in like 2015 (Levi from Attack on Titan). Yaaay. Super excited to be here, even if he's not! Anyway, he's like three feet tall, a neurotic clean-freak, and also allegedly the strongest person in the world (big deal). He's an asshole but his heart is... mostly in the right place. I gave him ghost powers because he's always surrounded by death and also because it sounded cool. (I'm not even positive what I'm doing with it yet tbh lmao)

Aaanyway feel free to add me on plurk (clickboom) and/or discord (alison#4118)! I talk about my super exciting daily life, rp, my garbage canon, and other things. Nice to meet you all!!

[frostedplum]

Hi, Alison! I'm Megan and this is Mei from Overwatch. I'm not too familiar with Attack on Titan, but I look forward to learning about Levi.

[evenslimmer]

Hey, so, I'm Glass!

I'm starting with Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops of the X-Men, from Marvel comics- BUT! Not forty-ish, decades-of-continuity Scott Summers. This is a Scott (a smol Scott, a Scoot) who got dragged from the past into what was technically his future because 40-year-old Scott Summers pissed off a bunch of people. And when you're in the X-Men, the best way to get back at your former friend is to bring their past self to the present in order to shame them. Unfortunately, smol!Scott got stuck in the present with the rest of his teammates. Please believe this is the least convoluted explanation.

Anyway he's very dedicated to protecting and advocating for mutants and generally being a hero, as well as trying to rehabilitate his reputation. He means well and he's always ready to help! But he's awkward and a nerd and this will be the first time in his life that he's had powers he could control, and also the first time since he was 15 that he can 1) see the world in color, and 2) actually look people in the eye. GONNA BE WEIRD. He has powered vision and we're starting with laser beams because that's not actually his canon power.

You can find me on plurk at ohmygodbees. I am a periodic fandom surfer but you can reliably count on regular X-Men/Marvel content, as well as Overwatch & general video games (I'm playing Borderlands rn), a lot of biology because I'm an evolutionary biology grad student, so much about fish because I study fish. Also my cat, Lulu, who is fantastic.

[frostedplum]

Hi, Glass! I'm Megan and I have Mei here from Overwatch, which I see you're familiar with already! I used to watch the animated X-Men show on Fox waaaay back in the day, but besides that and the movies, I'm not too familiar with Scott, and I know different continuities do different things anyway, so I'm looking forward to playing with you and learning about this version!

[wrenchinald]

hey everyone! i'm kaz and hot damn do i love cyberpunk. i also like cute things and industrial music. you can always talk to me here or at agentkaz.

i'm bringing in wrench from watch_dogs 2, which despite being very present day present time is pretty cyberpunk actually, because we live in a society. he's a hacker from an anonymous-esque hacker collective who also likes to wreck things, as one does. he's probably gonna have some Adventures with all of this.

unfortunately the super cool mask he wears isn't just for the aesthetic. he's nooot a fan of showing his face and he's not gonna be much fun until he gets himself a new mask. relatedly, his power is "unnoticeability" which might help with that sort of thing once he gets it figured out. good luck looking at his face when you're looking at that other more interesting thing.

anyway, hi! happy to be here.

[frostedplum]

Hi, Kaz! I'm Megan and I have Mei from Overwatch here. I don't know your canon, sadly, but I will learn through RP!

[selfimage]

Hi everyone, I'm Veronica!! Let's jam.

I'm bringing everyone's favorite annoying green menace, Loki flavored with a bit of 2014's Agent of Asgard. There are around fifty-million iterations of Loki in the comics depending on canon point, and here I am with the prettiest. Aside from being flashy garbage, Loki likes to write dirty fanfic and draw dicks on people's faces. He's coming from a point in his canon where his ass is chafed about everything, so I look forward to the drama drama. Loki got stuck with shapeshifting because it's his thing, but I'm looking to take it a different direction than his normal set. Here's a sneak peak of some Loki fun:


AS FOR ME, I talk a lot about Marvel (comics a lot, but also MCU), comics not Marvel, Riverdale, dinosaurs, tarot, my two furry dependents (cats, they're cats), & RP stuff, ofc. There is some other content that I throw in randomly depending on the mood. I'm a midwesterner, so I'm in CST, most active generally on weekend mornings & after work. You can find me at hadal, veronica#1133 on Discord, or you can go ahead and PM this journal! All of which are reliable ways to get ahold of me.

[ofmyth]

If you draw a dick on Thor's face he will cut all your hair off.

[ofmyth]

Hi friends! I'm Anne and I am bringing you Thor from the Marvel Comics! He's a god who, without his godly powers, is going to have to spend literally all day eating to keep up his strength. To anyone familiar with the comics- he's from way back during Seige, so there's probably a lot of things he needs catching up on. He takes things pretty seriously and he's going to be kind of bummed about not being a god, but he'll definitely be up for making friends and getting into all this sci-fi nonsense that they're in now.



As for me, you can find me on plurk at sprakles! I mostly plurk about games and other random stuff. I'm in NZ, so my timezone is kind of weird!? Mostly I'm like six hours behind the US, except in the future.

[frostedplum]

Hi, Anne! I'm Megan and I have Mei from Overwatch here. Your Plurk name is suuuuper familiar so I'll bet we were Plurk friends many moons ago. I wanna say during my Star Trek phase? Anyway, I've switched Plurks and done a rename since then so it's like a fresh start for us again! Looking forward to playing with you!

[rehandle]

Hey! I'm Gee, I'm too lazy to find a gif but I'm fun I promise, and I'm bringing in Stephen Strange from IW before it goes all the way to shit. And now that he's neither magic nor a surgeon, he's going to be a nightmare to be around. Exciting.

His new power is neural programming, meaning he'll eventually learn to work with the brain like it's a computer and input/re-write/extract information and processes etc but for now he's got to learn how to code. Brain code. He's got a slight leg-up on this thanks so much years of his life spent studying brains and further years spent working with manipulating energy in magical ways BUT if anyone wants some garbled brain-messages from what is essentially currently just a really shitty telepath trying to learn how to do the thing, he'll be your guy for a while.

I'm telling myself I'm going to use my discord more but right now I don't even have it downloaded SO the best way to get in touch with me is via plurk (miscreates) or PM! feel free to add me on plurk, it's generally just life rambles and RP. I'm a Brit so I'm operating on GMT, but I'm also a recent graduate and don't have a job yet so I'm about a lot lmfao. Look forward to meeting and writing with you all!

[retravel]

sup gee it's laura, and i got u fam

[warfares]

Hi everyone! I'm Mal and I'm bringing Kylo Ren from the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He's a prickly space-wizard turned aspiring ruler of the galaxy. He's going to take this whole kidnapping and loss of his mystical powers about as well as can be expected. Which is to say: not very.

In their place he's getting pyrokinesis, which'll start as burning hands and eventually graduate to setting other things (and himself probably) on fire.



I'm an ESL teacher currently living in South Korea, teaching elementary level. This means my schedule can get a bit wonky, but I'm due for my vacation next week so I'll be around a fair bit. You can find me at plurk over at resurrectionist or on Discord at resurrectionist#2222. I tend to plurk about Star Wars, books, music and whatever show I'm watching at the time. Right now it's Castle Rock. Chilling stuff.

[retravel]

ok but this gif is mesmerizing

[obstinance]

Hello! I'm Eliana (though I usually prefer to go by Ellie), bringing in Clary Fairchild from Shadowhunters. Clary is a nephilim — part human, part angel — tasked with what's essentially a peacekeeping job between humans and the demon-blooded (vampires, werewolves, warlocks, actual demons, etc). In essence, she's a plucky, loyal, and determined woman who also tends to be a little sarcastic, stubborn shit and plays by her own rules, which leads to a lot of reckless and Questionable Decisions™.

Basically, she's 200% yeet in the form of 100 lbs with a habit of stabbing things a lot. The stabbiest. Also, she has great hair. Her power set is artistic creation and will eventually manifest as manipulating the ink of her runes to become tattoo constructs — AKA pulling objects out of her skin to manifest them into reality.



As for me, I tend to keep my plurk mostly RP-related! Otherwise, it's mostly about comics, Star Wars, video games, and cats. You can find me over at romanoff or eliana#3386!

[selfimage]

HEY i've kinda seen you around and i'm excited to play with some great hair. Loki has some fun experience with all types so this will be a riot.

[duskmeadow]

hellO FOLKS i'm eppy and i'm dragging in two silly young men:

VAX'ILDAN from critical role. he's a dnd rogue who's very fond of daggers, extremely stealthy, and just generally an emotional disaster all around. he's fresh off slaying a chromatic dragon and pledging himself to the raven queen, one of which is a bigger source of turmoil than the other, so he'll be pretty conflicted about his time here. he's also twinsies with vex'ahlia; they're a package deal. his power is teleportation via shadows aka he can hop through one patch of shadow and come out another.

BELLAMY BLAKE from the 100. he's a youth from a post apocalyptic world coming straight from mid-crisis. he's p messy and guilt ridden and probably going to be fretting about what's up with his people, but don't let that deter you from trying to befriend him. his power is kinetic energy manipulation aka he can charge up inanimate objects and make them explode. very fun!!

as for me y'all can find me @ pogonophile or by messaging either of my journals. i mostly plurk about beards and critical role and my dog, and sometimes about whatever weird stuff is happening in my office, so all are welcome to get in on that.

[persists]

hey there! every attempt i've had to follow critical role fails, but i love the characters through osmosis and synopsis reading so. hi. super badass power choice for vax.

and once again, i only know of bellamy through rp osmosis but i'm excited to see his messy ass in a game. i'm jem, and it's nice to meet you!

[ffp]

hey meadowlark i'm flag and im super excited that im living in the best timeline w this cyberpunk game!

the character i'll be playing is OGATA from GOLDEN KAMUY and boy is he a piece of shit. not only he is a backstabbing sniper who would sell your soul for one cornchip, he's also prime meme material because everyone compares him to a cat.



see? he also killed his whole family :^)))))))))

anyway the best way to contact me is through DMs to either this journal or my main journal carim. i'm ready to edgelord it up w ogata's Special Snowflake Superpower and be the bad guy.

[sumio]

:3c

[faenthras]

hello friends my name is kiku and i am bringing you one fabulous half elf.

this is VEX'AHLIA from critical role. she is a lovely dnd half elf of the ranger kind, who adopted a brown bear when she was young and effectively raised it as her son. trinket it a lovely boy and she wishes she could brighten everyone's lives with him. she is not long off a major victory involving dragons and a family drama, so she is going to be a little out of sorts and incredibly unsure about being here. but she has her twin brother vax'lidan, so things could be worse. her power is light manipulation so she can glow! :D

as for me i am super excited and if you wanna catch me i'm on valyria on plurk and zaleho#0829 on discord \o/. i'm also australian so my hours are bonkers as well and work in retail, but yeah hit me up ;)

[trample]

Does she have her bear here too

[cyberlife]

HI LARKERS, i'm froot. i've been around a few games and was most recently in agoge. my longest hauls were in haven and holly heights, so you can imagine i've gotten slow in my old age (26 going on 80). i'm slow-to-medium re: tagging, living in an ast timezone if anyone actually keeps track — hmu at frooting for plots and random fun. i'm also on discord at frugivorous#0874.


BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

i have connor from detroit: become human in-game. he's 1/2 of the game's buddy cop duo, sent to make everyone's lives 10x more difficult and annoying than they wanted or needed — i chose one of his good routes, so he's sentient ("deviant", you'll hear this term way too much) and regretful now — YAY! he's very new to me and everyone else, so i have a permissions post set up in case anyone wants a spoiler opt-out (because i hate them myself, i'll be conscientious), no hard feelings wrt that at all.

super excited to begin and meet all you lovely people!

[apperceptions]

baby deviant ur hers now, welcome to sentience

[wrackful]

Hi everyone! I'm Koke and I'm bringing one human cockroach called John Murphy to this new cyberpunk life.



Murphy's from The 100, that show about a bunch of teenagers dropped on post-apocalyptic Earth. He's from almost the end of S3, just after they lose their One Shot at saving the day but before they figure out a new one. He is a cynical sarcastic smartmouth whose primary motivation in all things is survival, except he is way more capable of understanding and caring about others than he likes to admit, so he's gonna absolutely love being able to feel everyone's feelings! He's coming into game with the power of oxygen manipulation, starting out as combustion via extreme acceleration, which means he's basically gonna have little cluster explosions going off around his hands. This will be fun for everyone and not at all dangerous.

I'm GMT and a medium-pace tagger, though I've been out of games for a while now so I'm real rusty, pls bear with. You can find me on plurk at mercutios or discord at koke#0546. I watch a lot of film and TV and chatter about both, as well as video games (Destiny most consistently), books, real life work stuff, my recent foray into keeping houseplants, and cats!!

[frostedplum]

Hi, Koke! I'm Megan and I have Mei from Overwatch here! Nice to meet you!

[covertness]

HELLO EVERYONE rolls in late and without starbucks in between trips

i'm tona, bringing two characters bc i'm excited and everything looks amazing?? you can find me on plurk at abiosis or on discord at tona#8599. feel free to add me on either, though i'd love some heads up if you don't have your characters in your profile in some way just so i know who's who :>

ANYWAY i'm bringing bobbi morse from mcu/agents of shield and jim holden from the expanse, aka one expert spy who swore an oath to help people but very much looks at the bigger picture and who'll be using a fake name probably forever, and one coffee-loving accidental spaceship captain turned patron saint of lost causes and "hero of the universe" (he tries)

respectively:

[hyperverbose]

HELLO CANONMATE. i'm arden, and i'm also excited to see steven strait's face
